Promoter Details
hSyn, human synapsin promoter, mature neuron-specific promoter, 448bp.
The h S yn promoter, also known as the h S yn 1 promoter, is cloned from the promoter region of human synapsin protein 1 (S ynapsin 1). It is about 0.5kb in length and is specifically expressed in neurons.
Functional Gene Details
ChrimsonR: A new type of light-controlled ion channel that can respond to red light around 600nm was discovered through high-throughput sequencing in the Boyden laboratory. A point mutation of K176R was made on the basis of Chrimson (CnChR1), which speeds up the channel closing speed, making it possible to effectively respond to light signals at least 20Hz and below. When used with Chronos, it is possible to control two different neurons with two fluorophores. The excitation light wavelength is 590nm.
